Very nice Dobbs, Justin.

+1. The twenty dollar hats from Dobbs and Knox are a sweet spot in the line-up. This one looks super.

When it came time for today's walk with Bodie, it was raining. No problem, that's why God created Akubra...

Thanks, Jimmy. The design was 100% mine. You might have missed this brim detail I posted during your absence:

PS: I sewed the wind cord this morning, too.

Thanks!... this one is very soft and has about the biggest swoop of any of my hats... trying to learn how to handle it.

That's a great lid. Looks to be in beautiful condition, as well.

Well, congrats on this beautiful lid -- well done!!! Beautiful velour, beautiful color, great gray on gray ribbon scheme, fantastic brim edge treatment, and very distinctive and cool crease. Home run, Ale!

Cheers,

Thanks Jimmy. There are more pictures of it here. Condition is quite good, with a little discoloration across the top of the crown where another hat must have sat on top of it for a long time. It has that great thin, supple sweatband from the forties.

best,
Alan

Thanks for the link. It's a beauty. Gotta love the vita-felt -- it is wonderfully soft and lightweight.
